Unfortunately, it is not yet an official holiday. But there is increasing support for it. Nonetheless, it is celebrated by black people all around the country and Suriname and the Antilles.

      Hey, good to see you again. I randomly thought about you in another thread the other day.

      Anyway, I’m not aware of an independence movement on the islands. Curaçao and Saint Martin managed to become independent. Bonaire, Saint Eustatius and Saba are still ‘special municipalities’ within the Kingdom of The Netherlands. The relation these islands have with The Netherlands is still problematic and exploitatie to some degree, but AFAIK a serious independent movement is not yet active.

      Random fun fact: The Netherlands, known for its flatness, does have a mountain peak at ±900m tall. This is because it is located on Saba.
